The Institutes of Akbar 354: 123. Qutlugh Qadam Khan, Akhtah-begi.

354

The Turkish word qutlugh means mubarak, and qadam i mubarak, is the name given to stones bearing the impression of the foot of the Prophet. The Tabaqat calls him Qutu, instead of Qutlugh, which confirms the conjecture in note 2, p. 356.
Qutlugh Qadam Khan was at first in the service of Mirza Kamran, and then went over to Humayun.
In the 9th year of Akbar’s reign, he assisted in the capture of Khwajah Mu’azzam, and served in the same year in Malwah against ’Abdullah Khan Uzbak (No. 14). In the battle of Khairabad, he held a command in the van.
In the 19th year, he was attached to Mun’im’s Bengal corps, and was present in the battle of Takaroi (p. 375). He was no longer alive in 1001.
His son, Asad (?) Khan, served under Prince Murad in the Dak’hin, and was killed by a cannon ball before Daulatabad.
